10 on Tuesday
1. Went to visit the school this morning for Taryn, went good. Clean, well organized, great teachers, very positive experience. Taryn did ok. She was shy, wanted me to hold her and hid behind me a few times, but she did ask the teacher if she could see the potty. She was thrilled they had no only one, but two! And each came with a step stool, something else she was worried about. She was fine while we were there but got quite upset on the way home saying she didn’t want me to leave her there alone. So hard. We can do this right? I’ll try and focus on getting her a new backpack, a new lunch box and […]
still riding the wave of change
I bought her these yesterday while out shopping with Ty. After seeing her squeal with glee and dance around in them for a good 15 minutes, shakin’ her booty over her new pink chucks, I decided it was the best $15 bucks I’ve ever spent. Tomorrow is a big day, we’re going to go visit a mother’s day out / pre-k program. It’s been a long time coming, we’ve been nervous, apprehensive and anxious about this decision. While you guys get to see the side of Taryn we see at home, there is also a shy and very apprehensive side of her. She hides under the dining room table when the doorbell rings or someone new comes over. When we […]
the most wonderful time of the year
It’s that time of year again…..this is my all time favorite! Ty and I took off for the afternoon to hit the mall and shop for school clothes. We totally took advantage of the tax free weekend and all the back to school sales. I was bound and determined to make it as painless as possible because Ty is in that awkward age where friends and clothes are becoming very important. While we don’t always agree on clothing choices, I was careful to let him choose his clothing (within reason) and purchase things he was comfortable in and he thought were ‘cool’. I even smiled when he chose a hoodie with a skull on it. And anyone who knows me […]
forgot to post this one…
gosh I love him Must take more photos of him this month, he’s getting ready to take off soon, crawling is just around the corner. He already scoots all over the place and has been really close to getting those knees up. My days of a captive subject are limited….sigh

6 months
Already. Remember this? And this? How’s that for some belly for you mom? 😉 Little dude has got some new ankle rolls….see em? I get the urge to wake him up at night sometimes, I miss his little sweet face so much. He’s so excited to see us every morning, all happy and chubby and snuggly and drooly. I could just cuddle him all day. He makes us all smile, and coo, and quack like a duck, a million times a day, cause he loves it. He rolls and scoots all over the place, on the move. He laughs at the simple site of his sister walking by and she always stops to tell him how cute he is. He […]
